Correction Lyrics Mr. Richland's Favorite Song by Harry Nilsson

Back

Lyrics

When he was young he sang in a band
And the fans all looked the same
The fans he had were younger than he
And they loved to scream his name
They'd leave at the end of the third show
Go home to talk of the fun
Well isn't nice the parents would say
Well isn't nice you've got someone
Someone to idolize
He must look twice his size
I think it's great your going through a phase
And I'm awfully glad it will all be over in a couple of days

Well the calendar changed and the pages fell off
But the singer remained the same
And he never grew tired of singing his song
And the fans still called his name
They'd leave at the of the second show
Go home to talk of the fun.
For most of the fans were married by then
So they had to be in by one
"One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do"
Two can be as bad as one
It's the lonliest number since the number one
I'm awfully glad the husbands would say
I'm awfully glad you got someone
Someone I realize, who used to look twice his size
I think it's great you still remember his name
And I'll bet if he knew you were there for the show
He'd be awfully glad you came

"The time has come," the Walrus said
"To speak of other things"
Like a fallen star who works in a bar
Where yesterday is king
The fans all come for an hour or so
They still remember his fame
But the time has come the Walrus said
To call your fans by name
